Jobs requiring bar passage increase as law school job rates drop

Although the number of Maryland law school graduates who find jobs is decreasing, jobs requiring bar passage are showing a marked improvement, the Daily Record reported.

The number of law students from both University of Maryland and University of Baltimore law schools who found jobs requiring bar passage in 2012 was up substantially in both cases — from 47 percent to 63 percent for Maryland graduates and from 48 percent to 55 percent for UB graduates.
